I shouldn't have trusted a magazine to buy a book.
Only the first chapter was interesting,but it's one of the worst books I've ever read.
I wasted my money!!
If it was a bit longer,I would be in a mad house now!

I think I had a dose of postmodernism big enough for the next few months, but luckily it was a very tasty dose.

Nice how the two previous parts were entangled.

Este tercer libro actúa como especie de “hilo conductor” que pretende unir todas las anteriores partes (Ciudad de Cristal y Fantasmas) y darle sentido, sobre todo con Ciudad de Cristal. Por tal razón, en varias ocasiones tuve que detener la lectura de La HABITACIÓN Cerrada y devolverme a Ciudad de Cristal para ir entendiendo las relaciones, y en realidad ha sido impresionante descubrir todo el entramado que Paul Auster arma para que la obra en general tenga sentido y cohesión.

Una trilogía, súper recomendada. De forma individual, “Ciudad de Cristal” me pareció fantástico, “Fantasmas” es más flojo, y finalmente “La Habitación Cerrada” no llega al nivel de Ciudad de Cristal, pero es una excelente historia, que sobre todas las cosas, se convierte en obra maestra, cuando empieza a develar sus relaciones con los otros libros, y continúa el rompecabezas de Ciudad de Cristal.

I don't think I ever gave the other two books in the trilogy much credit. By the end I really felt the loop, and felt subsequently stuck in the loop. Despite having just finished it all I want to go back and try to figure out all the connections. There's so much there and probably so much I didn't even pick up.
